Episode Details

The Trump administration’s surprise nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, offering U.S. support for civilian nuclear power and joint uranium enrichment research, has ignited global alarm. With the New START treaty expired and no robust arms control framework in place, experts warn this could dangerously normalize nuclear proliferation in the volatile Middle East. Critics highlight Saudi Arabia’s troubling history — from ties to 9/11 to Khashoggi’s murder — and their refusal to allow U.S. military use of their airspace during the Iran conflict, casting doubt on their reliability. The deal risks emboldening rivals like Turkey, Egypt, and the UAE to pursue nuclear weapons, escalating regional tensions and pushing the world closer to catastrophe. Congress is being urged to demand stringent inspections and halt the agreement before it becomes a recipe for disaster.
